“ Egypt 1941. I received a particularly harsh dressing down from Gen. Wavel after coming to the defense of a young bedouin girl who had found herself in a compromising situation with a young lance corporal. The punishment for my insubordination…Magnum. ” - JQH III

Quinlan and Wavell contemplate my fate. I’d take on a score of Rommel’s Nazis before I crossed him again.

“ There’s some tea on the table, and some scones. You might try the strawberry jam too, it’s really quite good. An old comrade from the Burma campaign sent it to me — Tanky Moran. Got his name when he single-handedly took on a Japanese tank and knocked it out…Now he’s selling jam in Devonshire. ” - JQH III

“ 1937, England. While I was a student at The Royal Military College at Sandhurst, I was sent down in the winter of my third year when I was falsely accused of causing the partial paralysis of one of my fellow students during a school prank. Even Her Majesty’s generous health care couldn’t help that poor chap. Although I did hear that some years later, he starred in a Quick-Change act in the resort town of Blackpool with the LaSalle Sisters. I always meant to see him perform, but Blackpool always was a bit gaudy for my taste. ” - Jonathan Q. Higgins III
